⚡ Bolt: Remove VM instruction cloning in executor hot loop - #12
Conversation
Removed the `clone()` operation from the inner loop of the bytecode VM's executor. `Instruction` struct contains `Vec<Operand>` which causes heap allocations. Removing the clone makes the `run()` execution about 10x faster according to the benchmark. Co-authored-by: Tcode-Motion <188012755+Tcode-Motion@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What:
The
execute_loopinsideruntime/vm/src/executor.rshadinst.clone()called on the inner loop, which caused unnecessary large allocations sinceInstructionstruct holds aVec<Operand>. The PR removes the clone operation and replaces it with passing references.🎯 Why:
Cloning heap-allocated objects in the hot loop of an interpreter is a classic performance bottleneck.
📊 Impact:
Running
